GUINDARUHAN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

It is one of the Public Learning Institutions in the Municipality of Minglanilla, Cebu Province Division. The school is situated in Proper Guindaruhan, Minglanilla, Cebu with a total land area of 20,001 square meters or 2 hectares. The school site was acquired through Proclamation No. 529 by the President of the Republic of the Philippines, Malacañan Palace, Manila, last February 21, 1990 (occupying a lot no. 7409). The school is found 10 kilometers away from the National Road and 50 meters away from the Barangay Road. Cebuano is the principal dialect in the locality.

Foundation co-hosts the 5th National Conference on Foreign Languages

 The event is a gathering of educators, public school administrators, DepEd officials, and representatives from Instituto Cervantfes (Spanish), Alliance Francais (French), Japan Foundation (Japanese), Goethe Institut Philippinen (German) and CI- AUF (Mandarin), to discuss plans and issues affecting the implementation of DepEd’s Special Program for Foreign Languages (SPFL). 





ANGELES CITY, Pampanga, July 27 (PIA) -- The Confucius Institute of Angeles University Foundation (CI-AUF) is co-hosting the fifth National Conference on Foreign Languages together with the Department of Education (DepEd).

The event is a gathering of educators, public school administrators, DepEd officials, and representatives from Instituto Cervantfes (Spanish), Alliance Francais (French), Japan Foundation (Japanese), Goethe Institut Philippinen (German) and CI- AUF (Mandarin), to discuss plans and issues affecting the implementation of DepEd’s Special Program for Foreign Languages (SPFL).

CI-AUF Philippine Director Dr. Lourdes T. Nepomuceno said, “CI-AUF shares DepEd’s vision of promoting and emphasizing the impact, influence, and future directions of the SPFL Program.”

SPFL aims to prepare students for meaningful interaction in a linguistic and culturally diverse global workplace and develop their understanding and appreciation of other cultures which piloted in public high schools whose students have demonstrated competence in English and are now ready to learn another foreign language.

Currently, Spanish is being taught in 54 high schools, Japanese in 14, French in 12, German in nine, and Mandarin in 30 high schools nationwide.

Among the plenary speakers of the confab include DepEd Bureau of Secondary Education (BSE) Director Dr. Lolita M. Andrada, DepEd Foreign Language Specialist Rose Ligaya Domingo, SPFL Mandarin focal person Marivic Tolitol, and DepEd BSE Staff Development Officer-in-Charge Bella Marinas. (CLJD/JGB-PIA3)

What's your notion of the perfect vacation? For many people, it's spending days on the pool, listening to the splash waves pounding on the water. And if you're a swimming pool-lover, sooner or later you'll find yourself somewhere where Filipino is spoken. Pools are awesome! What could be better than a dip in the pool and fun in the sun? But remember the pool's sides and bottom are usually made of concrete, and rock-hard materials. A slip or fall could be painful and dangerous. So, we have to be very careful. Splashing, wading, and paddling — it must mean a great day in the water. Playing at the beach, at a water park, by a lake, or in a pool can be a real treat on a hot day.

The place represents the beauty of nature...hey, my name is J-han. I used to spend my holidays on the swimming pool. There is a beautiful pool in my hometown. It takes approximately 2 hours from the rural area by car to reach it. I used to go there with my family and sometimes with my friends also. By all accounts, swimming is a lot of fun, but drowning is a real danger. Even kids like me and my sister who know how to swim can drown so, let's be careful and find out how to stay safe in the water.

According to research study, cold winters and cool summers caused by the air masses result in extreme temperature variations and a low energy budget for the plant communities found here. Most of the precipitation occurs during warm months, and the air and soils are moist in comparison to the non-forested landscapes. Soils that have developed from glacial till and loess now thinly overlay the Philippine shield. Species that succeed in this environment have adaptations that economize on energy--both temperature and sunlight--and on nutrient requirements. This adaptation avoids the necessity for producing a full crop of new leaves every spring, and it also allows photosynthesis for extended periods of the year. Species that occur in the boreal hardwoods, such as trembling aspen, balsam poplar and paper birch, have special adaptations to withstand temperatures below -30° Fahrenheit.

Further research study said that the canopy layer of a forest community may be seen as being the primary buffer between atmospheric conditions and the communities below; it bears the brunt of wind and temperature extremes, and is the first beneficiary of sunlight. Forest pine canopies may be dominated by coniferous, deciduous, or mixed coniferous-hardwood species. forest pine communities are characteristic of the cold area. After a disturbance in the coniferous forest, such as logging or burning, the canopy opening favors deciduous species, with their higher rates of photosynthesis. Aspen and paper birch pioneer such areas, and they may in turn be followed by mixed hardwood and coniferous trees in a zone of intergrading communities. Pine hardwood stands of basswood, yellow birch, and associated species develop on mesic uplands. On drier sites in the south and west portions of the forest, pine communities are more common.

In addition to the research, beneath the canopy layer, shrubs vary locally in density. Seedlings and saplings of canopy pine trees bide their time in the shade; when a canopy tree falls, these young trees inherit the sunlight they need to succeed to canopy status themselves. Shrub-level species include beaked hazel, mountain maple, honeysuckle, and dogwood, along with others associated with specific soils and canopies. Variation of shrub density within the forest significantly affects the habitat and diversity of animal species.
